I passed the PMP test on April 8 with 5P's, which was a pleasant surprise! Here are some lessons learned to share:
 

1- Do research and gather resources.

I applied for the PMP test after I finished my last project management course and scheduled the exam in late January for the second week of April. I gave myself 9 weeks to get ready. I think these ~2 months were about perfect for me and the way I study. I actually did it in 8 weeks because I had to take a week off to run a conference out of town.
